OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND SQUARES
San Francisco, July 31
IRES,
, 1879. )
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN I have the honor herewith to transmit my report
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879.
FINANCE.
It has been the constant aim of this department to keep its ex-
penses within the limits prescribed by law, and it is now in a,
condition to commence the next fiscal year free from debt, and
for the first time knows positively the exact condition of iis
finances.
This is a gratifying result, more especially when we consider that
the levy of this year has been drawn upon to pay $160,000 of
indebtedness incurred prior to December 3, 1877, and authorized

by an Act approved March 30, 1878; also $100,000 of indebt-
edness incurred prior to June 30, 1878, and authorized by an
Act approved February 1, 1878.
The niain work done on accepted streets and all the repairs on
brick sewers and pipe have been done by day's work, and the
result demonstrates the practicability of continuing such a policy.
While the cost is a little in advance of contract prices, the work
is far superior.
SEWER CLEANING. ,
The subject of sewer cleaning is one that has given this de-
partment much annoyance, and one on which the public are
peculiarly sensitive, involving as it does the health, life and
property of our citizens. All attempts thus far to reach a satis-
factory result by contracts have failed. The work by the day,
under authority of your honorable body, is believed to have
given general satisfaction.
There has been but little work done on non-accepted streets
by contract through the office, its policy having been to urge no
work in opposition to the wishes of those liable for assessment,
except when such work has been deemed absolutely necessary;
hence the limited amount done compared with former years.
CORPORATIONS.
The various corporations (gas and water companies) having
franchises on the streets are beyond the control of this depart-
ment, except so far as the ordinances of your honorable body
are obeyed by their own volition. On matters of controversy
they have usually gained the advantage through the courts.
IMPERFECT DRAINAGE.
I would again call attention to the evils of imperfect connec-
tions of house drainage with mains, and renew my recommenda-
tions of last year, which have not been adopted. Nor has your
honorable body proposed a remedy for the evils complained of.
REMARKS.
DIVIDED JURISDICTION.
Under the laws as they now exist, this may be classed as a de-
partment of great responsibility and limited power. In any con-
troversy with the legislative department, its power would be
entirely negative. It should by law be made subordinate to the
Board of Supervisors, appointed by them; or it should have
positive powers to do what the general public require and ex-
pect. The^ power and duty of ordering all work rests entirely
with your honorable body.
COBBLES.
I would recommend the continuance of the policy adopted
over one year since, of removing the cobbles from level streets
and using them for repairs, replacing the same with basalt or
granite block. No more objectionable pavement can be laid than
cobbles, except on steep grades, and there are now sufficient on
level streets to supply this demand.
MACADAM.
The experiment of the past year fully demonstrates that we
have on this peninsula rock that will make first class macadam.
It is only necessary to exercise a sound discretion in selecting;
and I can see no good reason why, if the property owners pay
for a uniform macadam, the public should not keep the same in
repair and wartered. Should it be necessary to change the mac-
adam for a class of pavement necessary for a full acceptance, it
should bs done at the expense of the property owners; if such a
policy was adopted, no city could present a better class of sub-
urban streets than San Francisco.
DRIVEWAYS.
The construction of a driveway to the park along Tyler street
has not progressed as rapidly as could have been wished, owing
to causes over which this department had no control. When
4 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
completed, it is believed that it will be one of the best roadways
on the continent. Taking Tyler street as a line running east
and west, and Van Ness avenue north and south, crossing Mar-
ket, connecting with some main street running to the county line,
and north connecting with some main street to the Presidio,
would be a credit to the city, and offer inducements for people of
wealth and leisure to reside among us, instead of seeking resi-
dences in neighboring towns and cities. It was hoped that
Tyler street and Van Ness avenue might be completed as far as
opened during this term.
COUNTY ROADS.
The county roads are now in good condition. The bridges
and culverts have all been put in. good order, and the work of
re-macadamizing is still progressing. Much credit is due to the
Superintendent of the Almshouse for the work done on that
portion of the county road leading from the Golden Gate Park
to the Ocean House Eoad. Also, thanks are due to the Com-
mittee on Industrial School and House of Correction for material
aid and co-operation in working prisoners on said roads.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
L. M. MANZEB,
Superintendent of Public Streets, Highways and Squares.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE,
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE, )
San Francisco, Cal., July 1, 1879. j
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN In response to Resolution No. 13,700 (new series),
of your Honorable Board, I submit m^ report of the Police
Department for the year ending June 30, 1879.
Schedule "A'' exhibits the number and tabulated statements
of the arrests made by the police during the year.
Schedule "B" shows the number of arrest !>j, and sUeugui
of the police force for seventeen years preceding June 30, 1879.
Schedule "C" Cash received during the year from Sheriffs
of other counties, Masters of vessels and others, for keeping of
prisoners in the City Prison.
Schedule "D" exhibits the value of property reported as lost
or stolen during the year, and amount recovered by the police.
Schedule "E" exhibits the number of witnesses subpoenaed for
the City Criminal and Police Judge's Courts for the year ending
June 30, 1879.
Schedule "F" Unclaimed property or money in possession
of the Chief of Police to June 30; 1879.
Schedule "G" exhibits the number of police and telegraph
Stations, with their location, and the name of the keepers.
Schedule "H" exhibits the grade, salary and designation of
Officers of the Police Department, as fixed by the Board of Police
Commissioners December 31, 1878.
Schedule "I" exhibits the name, alphabetically arranged, with
34 CHIEF OF POLICE'S REPORT.
the age, length of service, mystery, status, rank and duty of the
members of the Department.
The force during the past year has been the same as it was
when the last annual report was made, viz: 1 chief, 5 captains
and 324 policemen.
The number of arrests has not increased much since the in-
crease of the force, and the value of the increase is shown in the
diminution of crime and the tranquillity and safety of our city.
The organization and discipline of the force is good, and its
efficiency is shown by its achievements.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN KIEKPATEICK,
Chief of Police.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF
THE BOARD
OF
PARK COMMISSIONERS
FISCAL YEAH ENDING JUNE 30, 1879.
* OFFICE OF PARK COMMISSIONERS,
San Francisco, August 1, 1879
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
.1
GENTLEMEN In response to Resolution No. 13,700 (new series),
of your Honorable Body, the Board of Park Commissioners beg
leave to submit their Eeport of the government of the Parks and
Avenue under their charge, for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1879.
The receipts for the year aggregated $48,345 22. The sum of
$45,419 77, was realized from the tax provided for the improve-
ment and maintenance of the Parks and Avenue; said tax being
at the rate of two cents on each one hundred dollars' valuation
of taxable property within the city and county. A transfer of
two thousand dollars ($2,000) was made from the General Fund
00 REPORT OF THE
to the Park Improvement Fund under the authorization of an
Act of the Legislature, Statutes of 1877-78, page 5. The re-
mainder $925 45 was derived from various other sources, as will
more fully appear by reference to Exhibit "A" hereto annexed.
The balance cash on hand July 1, 1878, was $31,663 62, which,,
added to the receipts above enumerated, makes a total of $80,-
008 84. The disbursements amount to the sum of $74,762 78.
This leaves a balance July 1, 1879, of $5,246 06.
The most important improvement during the year was the con-
struction of the Conservatories (a portion of the unground glass,
and frame-work of which was presented to the Park by twenty-
six gentlemen of this city).
This structure is favorably located on a commanding site be-
tween the Main Drive and the North Ridge Road.
The building is about 250 feet in length, Oriental in style,
graceful in outlines and highly ornamental. The main entrance
or Reception Room is 23 feet square, has a Majolica fountain in
the center, and is substantially furnished. It opens into the Ro-
tunda or Palm House a circular room 56 feet in diameter \nd
about the same number of feet in height. An octagonal space in
the center of the Rotunda is prepared for Palms, Ferns, Cj'cas,
Pandanus and other varieties of rare and tropical plants. Aterra
cotta fountain of unique design is in constant play and relieves
the dry ness of the atmosphere.
On the right of the Rotunda is the Orchid House, an arched
room 35x50 feet. Owing to the brief space intervening since the
completion of the building, as well as to a lack of funds, this
department is not thoroughly stocked, but through the gener-
osity of Mr. Louis B. Parrott (see Exhibit " H ") a fair begin-
ning has been made comprising some handsome varieties of
Orchids from Central America.
The arched room on the extreme right of the building is set
apart for the cultivation of the larger and rarer aquatic plants-
A circular pond 28 feet in diameter has been constructed here with
the necessary heating apparatus, and the Commissioners are en-
abled to report encouraging progress; some fine specimens of
the Victoria Regia (the seeds were a gift from H. B. M. Consul,
Win. Lane Booker), several Nelumbiums and other inter-
PARK COMMISSIONERS. 87
esting members of the aquatic family are approaching ma-
turity.
On the left of the main building is a wing similar in size and
shape to the Orchid House which is designed for flowering and
ornamental foliage plants.
The Green House adjoining, which corresponds in general
features with the aquatic department, is intended for the growth
of hard-wooded plants, such as Japonicas, Azaleas, etc., etc.
In the rear of the building are two propagating pits 50 feet
long and 12 feet wide, a growing house 75 feet long and 25 feet
wide and a potting room 30x30 feet.
A heating apparatus beneath the potting room supplies the
requisite warmth to all the chambers, and an admirable system of
ventilation enables the Keeper in charge to preserve at all times
an equable temperature.
The Conservatories cover an area of 15,000 feet. Thirty-five
tons of glass and over three tons of putty were used in construc-
tion^ and it is one of the largest and most admirably appointed
structures of its kind in the United States.
The donations of plants and shrubs to the Conservatories .thus
far (as shown by Exhibit " H ") have been liberal indeed, but
the building is so extensive that some time must elapse before it
can be fully stocked, and the Commissioners must in a great
measure rely upon the liberality of our citizens, who no doubt
will respond freely when the fact is made known that there is no
special provision for the expense of stocking them.
Another important improvement was the construction of a
Drive across the "Great Highway" connecting Point Lobos
Koad with the Western entrance of the Park. The road is 2,100
feet in length, 25 feet wide and macadamized to the depth of 12
inches; there is a branch drive leading from this road down to
the Beach. This improvement seems greatly appreciated by the
driving public. Heretofore the way from the Park to the Cliff
was over drifting sands, which made the drive an unpleasant
task.
The Driveway connecting with First Avenue has been finished
and affords a convenient entrance to the Park from Point Lobos
88 REPORT OF THE
Road via First Avenue. The terminus of the Geary Street, Park
and Ocean Railroad, now in course of construction, is at this
point, and the entrance, together with others near by to be soon
completed, will meet the requirements of the visitors by this
route.
The length of Roadway completed during the year is 2,400 feet
Total length of Drives and Bridie-Path constructed within the Park to
date 48,682 feet
Area 2,055,630 feet
Re-macadamized during the year 42,000 feet

made into Lawns, covered now with luxuriant growth of selected
grasses.
Drain pipe where necessary has been laid and Rock drains

established, so that the system of drainage so far as constructed,
is perfect in all its details.
A cottage was built near the eastern boundary of the Park for
the Florist in charge of the Conservatories, as his duties are
of such a nature as to require his immediate presence at all times.
The cost of all improvements and also of the maintenance of
the Parks and Avenue will be found presented in detail in Exhibit
" B." Keference is made to the Exhibits "A" to " H" accom-
panying this Eeport, wherein will be found matters of general
interest.
The "Citizens' Yellow Fever Belief Committee," through
their Chairman, Mr. J. C. Patrick, transferred to this Commis-
sion the balance of funds on hand, amounting to $4,645 12 gold,
which converted into silver produced the sum of $4,726 38.
This donation was made for the purpose of employing men at
the Park at the rate of $1 00 per day, and the amount was ex-
pended, principally, in planting trees, maintenance of tree plan-
tation, construction of walks, etc.
The summarized statement of visitors shows an increase of
38,194 over the preceding year.
Very respectfully,
LOUIS McLANE,
WILLIAM ALVOKD,
OLIVEE ELDKIDGE,
Park Commissioners.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE
SAN FRANCISCO FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
SAN FEANCISCO FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY, j
July 31, 1879. i
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
GENTLEMEN The Board of Trustees of the San Francisco Free
Public Library have the honor to acknowledge receipt of Keso-
lution No. 13,700 (new series), requesting a report of this Board
of the condition of the Library, embracing its operations and ex-
penditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879.
Prior to the tax levy of 1878-9, this Board requested your
honorable Board to levy for library purposes, such a sum as
would enable the Public Library to be at once opened as a cir-
culating library upon a scale which would bring home its advan-
tages to every citizen. This your honorable Board did not deem
proper to do; but, instead, levied a sum of $24,000 for the use
of the Library during the current year .
This sum was entirely inadequate to starting the Library upon
any respectable scale and maintaining it for a year, and for this
reason this Board determined to husband its resources until
nearly the end of the fiscal year.
In the meantime negotiations were had with the Mechanics'
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 101
Institute with a, view to the turning over of the library of that
society to the city as a nucleus for the Public Library; but, after
a somewhat lengthy consideration, a proposition to that end was
rejected by the Institute.
This left no alternative to the Trustees of the Library but to
start as best they could upon the small sum levied for the pur-
pose. After much consultation among themselves and with the
Library Committee of your honorable Board, Supervisors Gibbs,
Scott and Smith (gentlemen whose warm interest in the Library
this Board takes pleasure in acknowledging), it was decided to
rent a hall in the central part of the city, furnish it plainly, and
expend all of the funds in books, except what would suffice to
pay running expenses until the next tax levy began to come in.
It was calculated that at least $15,000 would thus be available
for the purchase of books, and by resolution of this Board, duly
approved by resolution of your Board, $15,000 of the money
raised by taxation for the Library was set apart for that purpose.
After a long examination and comparison, Pacific Hall was
chosen for the location of the Library. A better selection could
not have been made.
We also deem ourselves extremely fortunate in the selection
of a Librarian, having induced Mr. Albert Hart, for a long time
connected with the State Library, and first Librarian of the Law
Library, to accept the position.
As the Librarian is really the responsible manager of the Li-
brary, and in the purchase of books much must be necessarily
left to his judgment and good faith, the Trustees consider them-
selves fortunate in having secured so capable a man.
In the purchase of books, this Board has also been extremely
fortunate, the money with which these books were to be paid for
being in the Treasury, and your Board having approved the
resolution of this Board setting $15,000 of it aside for that pur-
pose, we were enabled to offer to booksellers the temptation of
cash at a time when, from the general stagnation of business,
cash was a strong temptation.
We have in this way been able to purchase from the dealers of
this city at less than the wholesale rates of Eastern publishers,
102 REPORT OF THE
and in addition have purchased from private parties a number of
small lots at extremely law prices.
The fitting up of the Library having been contracted for in the
same way the understanding being that everything was to be
paid for at 'once from the money raised from taxpayers for that
specific purpose and lying in the Treasury has also been well
but economically done, and the Library Hall is undoubtedly the
pleasantest reading-room in the State.
The Library was formally opened on the evening of the 7th of
June, with an address by the Hon. Geo. H. Rogers, President
of this Board, which is herewith appended. One of the members
of our Board, Mr. A. S. Hallidie, who has had large experience
as President of the Mechanics' Institute and Library, on the oc-
casion of a recent visit to the Eastern States, devoted much time
to visiting and examining a number of the public libraries in those
States, and on the occasion of the opening of the Library summar-'
ized much of this information in a most suggestive address, which
is herewith also appended, and which we commend to your con-
sideration, as showing how liberally public libraries are supported,
and how greatly they are prized wherever they have been insti-
tuted.
The Library contains 6,162 volumes magazines and periodi-
cals not included with a newspaper Department embracing
papers from every county in the State, and all the Territories
comprising the Pacific Slope.
In the selection of books great care has been taken to procure
the best works on every subject; thus every branch of Science
and Literature has received due attention. Particular care has
been given to works of reference Dictionaries, Encyclopedias,
Commentaries, Compendiums, etc., and when we state that up to
June 31, but $9,456 was expended for the purchase of about 6,000
volumes, we make an assertion which cannot be contradicted that
for the class of books purchased we challenge any library, public
or private, to present a better exhibit.
The number of persons who visited the Library from the date
of its opening June 8 to June 30 a period of 22 days, was
18,285 and there are thousands who are yet in ignorance of the
existence of such an institution.

104 REPORT OF THE
PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
[Address delivered by A. S. HALLIDIE at the opening of the San Francisco Public Library
June 7, 1879.]
The public school system of this country a system worthy the respect of
every citizen, and which, in spite of many imperfections, stands to-day the
glory of this land and the admiration of enlightened nations has grown up
from the infancy of this nation parallel with it in character, co-equal with it
in strength and breadth, as deep seated as the roots of the tree of liberty, and
expanding in the glory and beauty as it sustains this nation's life, and gives
vigor and vitality to all our institutions and national characteristics. From
this grandest of all testimonials to the intelligence of the American people
have emanated the public libraries of this country, so generally recognized
as adjuncts to and essential sequences of the public schools, which educate
the mind, in maturer years, to avail itself of the typical thoughts of men of
the past and present, saved to us by the art preservative. As the apprentice
is taught in the practice of his art to use the tools of his craft or the swim-
mer is taught to swim, so tha scholar in the public school is taught the use
of books. Destroy the tools and there is no need of the apprentice; remove
the water, the swimmer's occupation is gone; abolish the public libraries,
the usefulness of the public schools is impaired; by neglecting your harvest,
what availeth the seed ?
The libraries in the United States are the institutions of the people. From
them they sprung and to them they belong; the rich need them not, nor the
public schools. Bigotry abhors public libraries and hates public schools.
But to the people to nine-tenths of my fellow-citizens they are each and
both the guardian of their liberty, the guaranty of their independence.
Knowledge is power and a knowledge of power is independence. With ap-
parent spontaneity libraries have developed in almost every hamlet and town
where the public-school system exists. The exceptions are indeed rare; San
Francisco being an example of this exception, the more astonishing from the
recognized high educational standard of her public schools. Happily this
cloud over her fair reputation is about to be removed.
Until quite recently the libraries of this country have been independent of
each other in organization, management and experience. The Centennial
celebration gave an impetus to every department of science and art, and the
National Bureau of Education vitalized and gave form and homogeneity to
the scattered and varied library interests of the country.
The conference of librarians held in Philadelphia in 1876, first fairly
brought before the world the main features of the work being done by them,
and produced that valuable and now scarce report on the Public Libraries of
the United States by the Bureau of Education. The result of this conference
was so well appreciated abroad that a similar one was held in England in the
city of London the year following, when a large number of delegates were
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 105
present from the United States. This convention, in acknowledgement of
the earnestness of the work done in this country, adopted the Library Jour-
nal published in Boston, Massachusetts, as the official organ of the libraries
of Great Britain. That the subject has become of extreme importance and
public interest may be gathered from the fact that last year a further confer-
ence was held in Oxford, England, and that during the present month (June)
a conference will be held in the city of Boston, Mass. The results of the
conferences will be a more thorough understanding of the mission and scope
of public libraries, a greater compatibility in their management, an exchange
of good offices, the elimination of much valueless material that hampers the
shelves, and the grading of the libraries.
My recent visit to the principal libraries of the United States has increased
my respect for them and my appreciation of the great work they are doing.
Few persons can have any conception of the careful thought, untiring energy
and disinterested efforts'of the many self-sacrificing men and women of this
country who are, and have been devoting themselves to the cause of educa-
tion and better morals by means of the public libraries.
I propose very briefly to refer to three of the libraries I visited and which
I think may be taken as representatives of separate classes the public
library of Worcester, Apprentices' library of New York and the public
library of Boston the first meeting the wants of a thriving manufacturing
district, the second supplying the needs of young men and women actively
employed in some trade, the third to supply the general public of a city of
more than average intelligence.
In 1859, Dr. John Green gave to the city of Worcester a library of 7,000
volumes for reference and consultation, and to be used only in the building.
Immediately thereafter, the Worcester Lyceum and Library Association pre-
sented its library of 4,500 volumes as a nucleus for a library of circulation,
both of which the city accepted,, and thus established the Free Public Li-
brary of the city of Worcester. In 1865, the citizens raised a fund of $11,000 to
maintain a reading-room, and in the same year the library received a legacy
from Dr. Geen of $30,000, as a permanent fund, one-fourth of the inter-
est of which was to be added to the principal. The library now consists of
46,000 volumes, of which about 26,000 are for reference, and 20,000 for cir-
culation. During the past year 132,384 volumes were taken home and read,
and 30,079 were read in the reference room. There are 15,547 names of per-
sons entitled to use the library on the register. The library is open every
day, including Sunday, for reading, from 2 to 9 p. M., and the average Sun-
day attendance is 248. The library is in a good substantial stone building,
and is well supplied with general literature, but is especially rich in illustra-
ted works on the arts and industries; and there is not a mechanic or artisan
in Worcester but can find there abundance of authorities and information on
his trade or calling.
Worcester has a population of about 50,000. It is quite a manufacturing
106 REPORT OF THE
center, and as busy a town in proportion to its population as any in Massa-
chusetts; and it is to be congratulated upon the excellent care and judgment
that have been exercised in the selection of books so well adapted to the
needs of the community. Here we have a town with a population of 50,-
000 souls, with an exceedingly valuable public library of 46,000 volumes, or
nearly one volume to every man, woman and child living there.
The Apprentices' library, in New York, although occupying a building not
constructed or particularly well adapted for the purpose, is perhaps the best
arranged library, of its size and for its opportunity, of any I have visited.
The impression on entering was exceedingly agreeable and striking. The
library room proper is 104 feet long by 36 feet wide. The light comes
from the roof, through a skylight 75 feet long by 16 feet wide, and
the bookcases are arranged in alcoves surrounding the room on two
sides and one end three tiers high, eight feet deep; each bookcase is
eight feet high and has a space of three feet between. In this room
also are the waiting room, delivery desk, librarian's desk, etc,; and the
shelving, containing 60,000 volumes, has room for 40,000 volumes more.
The light is ample, the books easy of access, and opportunity for classifica-
tion is admirable. The library is quite an old one, as the General Society of
Mechanics and Tradesmen, of the city of New York, was chartered in 1792.
The library is owned by this society, but it is a free library, and open to all
young men and young women who are actually engaged in active employ-
ment. It circulates 128,000 volumes annually, and the evening I was there
the reading rooms were well filled; and there were at one time about 50 boys
and as many girls selecting books on the catalogue and awaiting the delivery.
The utmost order and decorum prevailed. It was a great pleasure to see the
good work this library was doing among these young toilers and workers,
and the interest they took in the library.
The Boston public library was started in ,1852, through a gift from Mr.
Joshua Bates, of $50,000 to the city. A site was selected and a building
erected at a cost of $365,000, and was opened to the public in 1858. Its
growth has been remarkable, and it stands to-day at the head of the libraries
in the United States as much in the number of its books, liberality cf ad-
ministration, extent of active work and thoroughness of organization.
In order to make the work of the library as useful and general as possible,
there are eight branches located in different parts of the city, which enable
citizens to obtain books without too great a distance to travel. The number
of books in the library at this time exceeds 350,000 volumes, and there were
issued during the year 1,183,991 volumes, which were taken home and read.
Ten years previous (1868) the circulation was but 75,570. The number of
persons registered who have applied for the use of the library since 1852, is
128,141, of which 75 per cent, may be considered active. The population of
Boston is about 400,000, thus giving, as^in the case of Worcester, nearly one
volume to each man, woman and child in the city.
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 107
Of course, such a library requires a large force to carry it on, and there
are about 130 persons engaged, the amount of salary being about $65,000
annually, and the amount invested in books for the past five years being
$150,000. As high as 10,478 books have been withdrawn in one day from
the central library and its branches, and the loss from all causes does not ex-
ceed one in 10,000.
The influence of the Boston public library has been and is most marked,
which is largely due to the appreciation of its great value by the citizens, and
the earnestness and intelligence exercised by its late librarian, Mr. Justin
Winsor (now at Harvard).
It is no use tiring your patience with any reference to other libraries I vis-
ited. Suffice it to say, that at St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Brooklyn, Pittsburg, Cleveland and
Chicago I found well-established, free public libraries, all active and growing;
and there remains the city of San Francisco, vith its population of about
300,000 souls, with its feeble attempt at a public library, disputing over the
miserable appropriation of $24,000.
In the year 1800, there were, all told, 80,000 volumes in the various public
libraries in the United States. Seventy-six years later, there were 2,958
public libraries, possessing 12,039,724 volumes. In 1860, there were 27,730
public and private libraries, with 13,316,000 volumes; and 10 years later
there were repotted 164,815 public and private libraries, with 45,629,000 vol-
umes.
Joshua Bates gave Boston $50,000 to start its public library, and added
$50,000 more before he died. Peter Cooper gave the Cooper Institute 17,-
500 volumes to establish its library, and this was but a fraction of his
princely benevolence in similar directions. George Peabody gave Baltimore
$1,400,000 to establish a library there. John Jacob and William B. Astor
gave New York $700,000 to found and maintain the Astor library. John
Lenox gave $700,000 to found the Lenox library in New York, and is still
adding. Walter N. Newberry has left $2,000,000 to Chicago to establish a
library on the north side. Joseph Fisher left Philadelphia $55,000, and Dr.
James Eush left the same city $1,000,000 to maintain a library there. Mr.
Howes has just left the Boston Athenaeum $150,000 towards its library, and
Mr. Asa Packer has given $500,000 to the library of the Lehigh University,
and these are but a few of the gifts that have been made to the libraries of this
country.
I cannot but feel humiliated that San Francisco should have so long stood
alone not only without a great public library, but without any of those public
galleries and halls which tend so much to make a community better in thought
and action.
The public libraries of America have a unique existence and a patriotic ob-
ject. They are not gathered together by the vanity of national pride or
wealth, and are thus different to the great libraries of bygone ages, but they
108 REPORT OF THE
are built up by the necessities of conditions peculiar to the American people;
they are the guide, the friend, the solace of the workingman and toiling wo-
man the instructor, the hope and the rest. The public schools make them a
necessity, and to impede their success, their progress, or their usefulness by
ever so little an obstacle is a crime before God and man.
Let us then earnestly unite in destroying the difficulties in the way, and
with those difficulties sweep away those who, through ignorance or vicious-
ness, would retard the onward progress of the Public Library of San
Francisco.
SPEECH OF HON. GEORGE H. ROGERS.
[Delivered at the opening of the Free Public Library, June 7, 1879.]
E. D. Sawyer opened the proceedings and introduced the President, G. H.
Rogers, who gave the following history of the movement:
He said: About three years ago letters were sent from this city to all of
the principal cities of the United States and Europe, requesting them to give
us any and all the information that they had in regard to public libraries in
their several localities, and particularly in regard to their support and man-
agement. In answer, we received letters and reports from more than two
hundred cities and towns. A public meeting was called, which was largely
attended, and the information gathered was laid before them. After a long
and interesting debate a Committee was selected to draw up a bill to be pre-
sented to the Legislature for the establishment of a public library in this
city. The bill was no sooner introduced in the Legislature than letters came
from every large town in the State requesting that the bill be made general,
as it was their desire to be benefitted by it.
Under this law, free public libraries are now in operation in Oakland, Sac-
ramento, Stockton, Los Angeles, San Jose, Petaluma and other places. The
Board of Trustees named in the Act met and organized a year ago last April,
and, after mature deliberation, asked the Board of Supervisors to levy a tax
that would raise $75,000. With that sum we could have commenced a circu-
lating library which (with additions from time to time) would have been
sufficient for all our citizens. The Board, however, in consideration that
times were hard and the State and county taxes higher than usual, voted us
a tax that would raise but $24,000, and this did not come into the County
Treasury until January last.
The Board of Trustees, supposing that they had something to begin with,
leased this hall for one year with a privilege of two more; have fitted it up
at an expense of more than $2, 400; have secured the services of a first-class
librarian; have put on to these shelves nearly six thousand volumes at a cost
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 109
of $10,000, and have ordered all of the leading periodicals and papers of the
East and Europe. Our total expenses up to this time for all purposes
amounts to $13,500, and it is now discovered by some of the city officials
that we have no money in the City Treasury with which to pay these bills,
notwithstanding they have collected it and the citizens paid it in for this ex-
press purpose. In this condition of affairs we have thrown this room open
to the public. We have not books enough to allow of their being taken out
of this hall, but here you can have them as much as you please, and as soon
as we have enough to permit, they can be taken to your homes.

During tlie past fiscal year, the walls of the greater part of the Ltrkin
street front and of the portion of the McAllister-street front previously left
unfinished have been completed; those parts of the building have been
roofed in, all the iron floor and roof beams fixed, and the iron floor arching
and concrete in same completed for the second and third stories.
This work included the erection of the Corinthian Portico in the center of
the Larkiu-btreet front, and of the two new Entrance Porches on each side
of the Portico.
A Branch Police Station and Cells have been fitted up and completed
and occupied in pnrt of the basement story of the McAllister-street front.
The Mayor's Offices on the south side of the building, adjacent to the
Grand Entrance Hall, fronting on Park Avenue, have been in course of erec-
tion and completion and are now nearly ready for occupation; these are
on the first floor of the Hall, and with them two adjoining rooms are be-
ing completed, as also is the basement story under these offices and rooms.
It is proposed to appropriate part of the basement story to the Street De~
partnient, and there are, besides, two offices on each of the basement and
first stories to be appropriated.
The Booms at present occupied by the Mayor will form part of the County
Clerk's Offices.
The portion of the building just roofed in will, when completed, provide
accommodations for the following Courts and Offices, viz:
CITY HALL COMMISSIONERS. 115
Three District Courts, with Judges' Booms, Clerks' Offices, Jury Booms,
Witness Booms, etc.
Five Justice Courts, with Clerks' Offices, etc.
Grand Jury, with Witness Booms, etc.
Court Clerk, District Attorney, Police Commissioners and Public Adminis-
trator.
Drawings and specifications have been prepared in the expectation of fin-
ishing, ready for occupation, during the ensuing fiscal year, the above-men-
tioned portion of the building; but it now appears probable that the yearly
appropriation provided for in the Statute of 1876, will be reduced to one-third
of the regular amount, and in that case, a small part only of the building
can be finished.

CORONER'S REPORT
CORONEK'S OFFICE, \
San Francisco, July 10, 1879. )
Hon. A. J. Bryant, President, and Gentlemen Members of the Board
of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco:
In compliance with Eesolution No. 13,700 (new series), passed
by your Honorable Body, June 27, 1879, requesting a report of
the condition of this department of the city government, during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879, I have the honor to submit
the following tables and remarks thereon :
Table number one. The number of deaths reported, autopsies
made and inquests held during each month of the year. It shows
that the total number of deaths reported for investigation was
three hundred and eighty-six (386), fourteen (14), less than last
year. This decrease in numbers is more than accounted for by
the less number of suicides. Autopsies were made in one hun-
dred and seventy-seven (177) cases, an increase of forty-six (46)
from last year. By an Act of the last Legislature, the city phy-
sicians, who are under pay from the city, are required to make
autopsies when requested to do so by the Coroner, and without
additional expense to the city; and autopsies have been made in
nearly every case where there was reasonable doubt as regards
the cause of death. This arrangement has in most respects been
satisfactory, and in many instances developed the true cause of
death and benefited our vital statistics.
Table number two. The birth-place of deceased in each case,
as far as could be ascertained.
Table number three. The deaths from natural causes classified
122 CORONER'S REPORT.
as to disease producing the same, as shown by inspection or au-
topsy. Inanition will be found as, the cause of death in three
cases. These were Chinese, deserted by their countrymen to
this most distressing death. It is safe to say that there is no
other class of people in this city who would allow such deaths to
take place. It seems to be well proven that it is a frequent
occurrence among the Chinese in this city to allow both males
and females to starve to death, after they become incura-
bly sick or crippled and are without means, being at the time
surrounded by relatives, professed friends and associates that a
mite from whom would support.
Table number four. The cause of death in each case and the
nature of crime charged, if any. Comparing this table (Mortu-
ary table) with that of last year, we find that the number of
accidents has increased eighteen (L8), a number that is ac-
counted for by explosions which killed six (6), and of which we
had none in the preceding year, and an increase in deaths from
accidental falls, although there has been but little, if any, in-
crease in building. In the number of accidents there are nine
(9) from gunshot wounds, as compared with six (6) last year.
This is a large number in contrast with other cities. New York,
for instance, with more than three times the number of inhabi-
tants had only eleven (11) in 1874, and ten (10) in 1875. In
most of the cases here, the death has resulted from the careless
use of firearms, and while they do not reach manslaughter, one
feels they should be classed as something more than accidental.
Here, where the carrying of firearms is so universal, the careless
use of them should be prohibited, or some law passed making
such use a crime, and naming some adequate punishment. The
cases of murder and manslaughter have markedly decreased as
compared with last year, eight (8) and four (4) respectively. In
ascribing a cause for this decline in crime, it must not be forgot-
ten that the police force was largely and carefully increased last
year, and through discipline and drilling have become very eS-
cient in the performance of their duties. The number of cases of
street shooting or duels has become less and less numerous, but
the instances where atrocious, cowardly acts of murder have been
inflicted on unarmed men, helpless women and innocent children,
CONTENTS OF TABLES. 123
have been much more than usual, and specially horrifying.
There were but two (2) cases of justifiable homicide. Suicides.
Reckoning the population as 300,000, we have had one suicide to
every 3,488 of the people, or eighty-six (86) during the year,
which is seventeen (17) less than last' year, a decrease of sixteen
per cent. As the gain of last year was at the rate of thirty-five
(35) per cent, over that of two years ago, and the same circum-
stances existed, it was reasonable to expect that we would have
the same gain this year. As it is, suicides have decreased from
the expected gain of sixty-two per cent., a very remarkable and
unprecedented event. Before this year there has been an aver-
age increase during the preceding sixteen years of 21.86 per
cent. To account for the decrease of this year would be difficult
as nearly all the acknowledged and apparent influences condu-
cive to the act, such as hard times, stagnation of nearly all
business enterprises, a political agitation such as we have never
experienced before, fluctuations in mining stocks, etc., have all
been constantly with us, yet there has been this marked decline
in numbers. There is one circumstance that may have had a re-
straining effect. Until the publication of my report a year
ago, there had been nothing published as regards the num-
ber of suicides in comparison with other large cities, East
and in Europe, and the special causes had never been
given in detail. The record therein given, extending over
fifteen years, and the remarkably large number for the year
was startling alarming. The discretion of publishing the
truths in regard to them was seriousl} T questioned, but was
decided on after much hesitation. As a coincidence or direct
result quite a number of our editors, ministers and lecturers
published editorials, sermons and lectures on the subject of sui-
cides, evidently taking their statistics and some observations
from my report. I cannot but think that much good has re-
sulted from this movement, and that many useful lives have
been saved to meet the trials of life in a more manly way, and
that it is only necessary to agitate this subject to render this act
of self-murder more unpopular and result in permanent good to
this community.
During the year six men leaped into the Bay with suicidal in-
124 CORONER'S REPORT.
tent, whose bodies have not been recovered. They should be
reckoned among the suicides, but as the law does not compel the
Coroner to act except when the body is produced, and there was
no sworn testimony in these- cases, they have never been taken
account of in this office. A record has been kept of the pub-
lished attempts at suicide during the year. They number sixty-
four (64) in all; fifty-one males and thirteen females. In two
instances, the would-be suicide died a few days after the attempt,
from natural causes, having, as claimed, fully recovered from
the effects of their violence. This is by no means the actual
number of attempts. There are many cases which never reach
the press, and are known to but a few friends. A lawful pun-
ishment for this act might be advisable. The report of the
Police Establishment of Liverpool, England, under the heading
of ' ' Indictable offences crimes committed and persons appre-
hended" for the year ending September 29, 1878, gives the
the number as fifty-six (56) of " Attempting to commit suicide;"
but under the heading of "Disposal of the persons apprehended,"
they are all reported as " Discharged for want of prosecution."
This was in a city where they have but one suicide to every
20,833 of the population, and the non-compliance with the law
(if a law) might well be excused; but here, where we have one
suicide to every 3,488 of the population, and at least one attempt
to every 4,531 of the population, numbers which almost treble
New York City in proportion to the people, and almost if not
quite rivals Paris, it seems as though it was time, through every
means, to change the too often expressed sentiment of apology
for self-murderers, and in some manner control or restrain such
unthinking, selfish persons. In table number four it will be ob-
served that in the means used by suicides, deaths by hanging are
in large numbers, having increased from six (6) in a considerably
larger number of cases last year, to fifteen (15) this year, while
deaths from opium and strychnia have decreased. Hanging is
used by the Germans oftener than other nationalities, and the
number of Germans was disproportionately large this year.
Table number five. Details of suicides. The color and sex
are in about the same proportion as last year, while those mar-
ried have largely increased. In regard to age, it gives the
CONTENTS OF TABLES. 125
youngest as 13, the oldest as 78, with an average of 40+ . There is
an increase in the number between 10 and 20, more than doub-
ling that of last year. The largest number is between 30 and
40, as usual; but the number between 50 and 60 has largely in-
creased, equaling the number between 40 and 50 which is
generally second. In occupation we find that, as usual, me-
chanics are the most numerous, and house keepers are second.
This section is remarkable only in the variety of occupations,
embraced under about forty headings. Birth-place in the
United States New York is largely in advance and out of
proportion, while Virginia is second. Of those born in Europe,
Germany is greatly in excess and out of proportion to the num-
ber from that country with us, while those from Ireland have
decreased from last year, when they were about equal to the
G-ermans, in numbers. Of domestic condition while one-half
the number last year had no relatives in the State, this year only
about one-third were in that condition. Nearly one-third of the
entire number left wives in the State, and three left children
only. In intellect about one-fourth were considered above the
average, an unusual number. Last year only about one-ninth
could be considered in that condition. Of previous attempts six
had twice before tried to die by their own hands . During this
year only, a record has been kept of the religious belief, or re-
ligious teaching under which those taking their own lives had
actually or were supposed to have been brought up. It will be seen
that of Protestants there were 50, Catholics 15, Jews 3, Spirit-
ualists at time of death 2, Chinese supposed to be heathens
6, and unknown 10. Total, 86. In the pre-disposing causes,
" intemperance " heads the list in numbers, followed by " want
of means/' " prolonged sickness" and " domestic unhappiness."
Of the " immediate causes," " want of means" is largely in ex-
cess, being about one-fourth of all the cases, while "intemper-
ance" and " unsound mind " have nine each. There were five
who committed suicide in which both the pre-disposing and im-
mediate cause was insanity. It is possible that many of those dis-
posed of under the term " unsound mind" were in reality in-
sane, but not sufficient evidence could be learned to class them
as such. These, the most deplorable of all suicides, excite the
126 CORONER'S REPORT.
sympathy of every one. The reasoning- power being gone, there
is no question of want of courage to endure the trials and ills of
life, but a condition exists over which the subject has no power
to govern, and it becomes the duty of relatives, friends or
strangers to exercise the functions of the law for the protection
of insane persons, and others with whom they come in contact.
How often this duty is neglected, the details of the records of
this office show. In this metropolis of strangers, where the
causes of insanity are so numerous, and insanity increasing so
rapidly, filling our asylums, it seems as though the public spirit
should be active to cause the arrest, examination and forcible
care, if necessary, of all cases of questionable sanity. While
but little harm would result, many crimes, such as murder, ar-
son and suicide would be avoided, and by early and skillful
treatment, with care and protection, many would be spared life-
long disgrace, and perhaps be cured and returned to make
households happy, which but for this prevention would be in
lasting gloom. Fourteen of the suicides were committed by
persons insane or of unsound mind, and circumstances were
brought out at the inquest, in many cases, where this insanity or
unsoundness of mind was well known by relatives or associates,
yet no action was taken to protect them from themselves, feeling
perhaps that they had no legal right to do so. The law says, in
relation to the insane, that any person making an affidavit be-
fore a judge of a court, and naming two witnesses, the judge
can cause the arrest and examination by two physicians. If the
physicians find that such person is so far disordered in his mind
as to endanger health, person or property, the judge can order
commitment to an asylum. And this is done every day and
should be more generally known by the public. It is seldom
that suicides occur within the walls of an insane asylum. In
the published reports of the Stockton and Napa Asylums for
1877, there is no mention of any case during the year. One
took place in the Napa Asylum in 1878. The percentage of re-
coveries to the number of admissions in the Stockton Asylum in
1877 was 61.26, a number which gives great encouragement to the
afflicted and their friends, and is a very strong argument for asy-
lum treatment. In the immediate causes of suicides will be

found " Fear of assassination 2." It seems only proper to this
city and its government to remark that these were both female
Chinese, and that the special circumstance was well proven.
Being from childhood degraded in their own country, following a
life of shame in this, and not being able to understand the lang-
uage or laws here, they adopted the only alternative they knew
of to escape violence from the hands of others.
Table number six. Number of suicides during each month
for seventeen years.
Table number seven. Report of unknown dead and those of
doubtful identity.
Table number eight. Schedule showing property found with
or upon deceased persons, and the disposition of the same. It
shows the' receipt of $10,576 40 in money, besides mining and
other stocks, jewelry, papers, and articles of value received and
disposed of as the law directs.
Table number nine. Expenses incurred in the prosecution of
the duties of the office.
In suits against the Sheriff, fees have been collected and paid
over to the City and County Treasurer in accordance with law,
amounting to three hundred and thirty-four dollars and sixty-
eight cents ($334 68), a small increase from last year.
In conclusion I beg leave to tender ray thanks to Deputy Cor-
oners Wheeler and Hamilton, and to Messenger Smith, for
faithful performance of their several duties; also to Police Sur-
geon Stivers and City Physician Blach, for the prompt and care-
ful manner of making autopsies during the last year. I am
under obligations to Chief of Police Kirkpatrick and force,
Sheriff Nunan and Deputies, for timely assistance in the dis-
charge of my official duties, and to the public press for advertise-
ment of the description of unknown dead and those of question-
able identity. I am also under obligations to your Honorable
Body for furnishing all means and facilities requested for prop-
erly conducting this office.
Very respectfully,
L. L. DORR, M. D.,
Coroner.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL -REPORT.
SAN FKANOISCO, July 1, 1879.
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN In accordance with resolution of your Honorable
Body, I have the honor to submit the Annual Report of the City
and County Industrial School, for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1879.
Herein are included detailed statements of the expenditures
and work done in all the departments.
During the year, a large amount of repairs have been made,
necessitating a most rigid economy, and husbanding of the re-
sources, so as to keep within the appropriation.
Upon my accession to this office, succeeding the late David
C. Woods, I found the painting of the house going on by
the House of Correction prisoners. Through the earnest and
indefatigable labors of the Chairman of the Industrial School
Committee, and the kindness of the House of Correction Com-
mittee, the work was prosecuted diligently, and I take pleasure
in stating that this much-needed improvement is completed, and
adds, not merely to the appearance of the house, but also to its
durability, filling a long and much-needed want.
Another large item of expense has been the plumbing. The
principal items have been incurred for new closets, new tank for
main building, running main from the main connecting with
College Hill Reservoir, of the Spring Valley Water Company,
thus giving the house a continual source of supply, should any
accident occur to our own reservoirs, and in replacing and refit-
ting gas and water pipe in different portions of the house in
INDUSTEIAL SCHOOL. 159
particular, the Laundry, and Boys' Wash-room all of which it
was found absolutely necessary to do.
Much has been done in the line of miscellaneous repairs by
the Carpenter. The lower floors of the North wing of the
building, comprising the Laundry, Boys' Wash-room and Play-
room, were found to have completely rotted out, and required re-
placement, which was done, in the most durable manner, that in
the Laundry being laid in Asphaltum, and that in the Wash and
Play-room of the best Redwood laid on piers of brick to preserve
the joists. The sewers for same having also become unservice-
able, were replaced by iron stone, and galvanized iron waste
pipes. The larger part of the fencing around the farm and gar-
den was replaced and rebuilt, and is now being whitewashed and
placed in good order. A small building has also been erected in
the back yard for the use of the Hose and Hose Cart received
from the Fire Department for use in case of fire, and adds ma-
terially to the security of the house, should we have the misfor-
tune to have such an occurrence. The Boys' Dining-room has
also received extensive repairs, among others the replacing of the
floor of the "Bread-room" attached thereto (which was found
to have rotted completely out) with an Asphaltum floor, and is
now in first class condition. The Officers' and Employees'
Dining-rooms have also been completely refitted and painted,
the Officers' room requiring a new floor, and they are now in
first class order.
These are, in the main, the improvements made, besides minor
ones, such as relaying floors in various parts of the house, which,
by constant use had been worn out, and required replacing.
During the month of June, your Committee, finding that a
balance of our appropriation was available, decided to replace
the old and worn-out frame building in the back yard, used
as a Carpenter Shop, Ironing-room, Butcher Shop and Bakery,
with a substantial brick building, and the work was accordingly
begiyi, the labor of House of Correction prisoners being util-
ized so far as possible, and while it is not as yet completed, it
will fill a much needed want of the Institution, besides being
an ornament to it. In removing the old building, it was also
found necessarv to rebuild the oven, which had become worn-
160 KEPORT OF THE
out through a constant use of 15 years, and we now have every-
thing arranged in good order in the Bakery and work appertain-
ing thereto.
In addition to this, the unsightly bank in the rear yard is now
being terraced and laid out by House of Correction prisoners,
and promises not only to be an ornament, but also to prevent
escapes.
Our Farm and Garden, while not producing an average crop,
has been of material assistance to the Institution, and with the
measures taken by me for the next year, will, I believe, effect a
material saving in that line, in the expenditures of the Institu-
tion.
The main building being old, much requires to be done in
keeping up the repairs, which are being made, as our funds are
available, from month to month.
In my visits to the Magdalen Asylum, I have always found the
girls committed to this Institution well taken care of, every-
thing connected with them being in excellent order, neatly and
cleanly kept, and reflects great credit upon its management.
The health of the inmates of the Institution has been good
during the year. I am pained to report the death of one
boy, Patrick Mitchell, the result of an accident, and I take
this occasion to express my appreciation and warmest thanks to
our Visiting Physician, Dr. B. D. Dean, in his care and atten-
tion, and being at our disposal day and night.
To your Honorable Body, I desire to express my warmest
thanks for courtesies extended, and to the Industrial School
Committee, and House of Correction Committee, for material
assistance in expediting the work hereinbefore enumerated.
To the Officers and Employees I am indebted, their labors be-
ing arduous, and at times showing no satisfactory results, ten-
dering them my sincere thanks, and hoping to receive their
earnest co-operation in the future, as I have in the past.
Trusting that our labors will receive the approbation o your
Honorable Body, and in the hope that still better results will be
attained, I respectfully submit this report.

RECORDER'S REPORT.
HALL or RECORDS, )
San Francisco, July 1, 1879. )
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN I have the honor herewith to submit my Report
for the year 1878-1879.
In my last, attention was invited to the decrease from the pre-
ceding year in the receipts of this office. I regret to say that
there has been a still greater diminution during the past year,
caused by the continued depression in business, the receipts in
the latter half having fallen off thirty-three per cent.
It is, perhaps, well to state here, for the information of the
public and some of the city officials, who seem to be in blissful
ignorance of the fact, that this is a self-supporting office. The
salaries of the Recorder and his Deputies are paid from the
moneys received for recording. The copyists are paid by the
folio of one hundred words, not by salaries; and as their com-
pensation is in proportion to the amount of work brought into
the office, they have earned and been paid, in these dull times,
far less than any other employees of the city government.
Inasmuch as a great deal has been unfairly published in certain
newspapers about the gross extravagance in every department
of the municipal government, and officeholders generally have
been pictured to the people's gaze as monsters of hideous mien,
I have to say, in a measure contradictory of this, that wherever
it was possible so to do, I have reduced running expenses. For
instance, Record Books, which, prior to my incumbency, cost
$12.50 and $14.50 each, are now obtained for from $5 to
COUNTY RECORDER. 173
$5.30 each, as I submit their manufacture to competition, no
matter how small the number of books required, and to the low-
est bidder is awarded the contract.
The cost of all kinds of books and stationery needed here has
been reduced over one-half, as compared with the expenditures
therefor, during each year since 1874. And, including this item
of expense, notwithstanding the lamentable and irremediable
decrease in receipts, and the fact that over $3,000 worth of re-
cording has been done for the various branches of the city gov-
ernment, for which we are allowed no compensation, I am happy
to say there is now an existing surplus of $3,281 .38.
I am, Gentlemen,
Very respectfully,
Tour obedient servant,

HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT.
HEALTH OFFICE, )
San Francisco, July 1, 1879. j
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN I have the honor to submit niy report of the affairs
of this office, including the mortuary and other statistics, for the
fiscal year terminating June 30, 1879.
During the year there were 4,493 deaths, against 4,977 of the
year preceding a decrease of 484.
Estimating our population at 305,000, as given in Langley's
Directory, the annual ratio of deaths per 1,000 population is
14.75,* against 16.59 of the preceding year a decrease of 1.84.
The total number of deaths from zymotic causes (in the main
considered preventable) was 743, against 1,027 of the preceding
year a decrease of 284. The ratio of deaths from zymotic
causes to the total mortality was 16.5, against 20.6 of last year
a decrease of 4.1.
This is a very gratifying result, and is undoubtedly due to the
greater efficiency of our sanitary laws, our last Legislature hav-
ing conferred upon the Board of Health additional powers, which
have enabled us to remove various causes of disease which here-
tofore could not be reached, either by your Hon. Body, or the
Hon. Board of Health.
The obliteration of stagnant pools of water in various portions
of the city, the vacating of houses as unfit for human habitation,
under certain conditions, the increase in the number of our
Sanitary Inspectors, all due to our amended laws, and the unusual
* The lowest per cent of mortality as yet attained.
12
178 REPORT OF THE
abatement of a large number of nuisances, as shown in the reports
of the Sanitary Inspectors, have all conduced to the decrease
in our death roll. The power conferred upon the Health Officer
to remove, at his discretion, cases of smallpox has more than
once, in the last two years, stayed the spread of this loathsome
and fatal disease. The improved health of the llth Ward is a
striking evidence of the benefit to be derived from the filling in
of stagnant pools of water.
Within the last two years the filling in of Mission Creek by
the City, and of the adjacent swamps by individual owners, has
converted this once hot-bed of disease into a comparatively
pleasant and healthy portion of the city. The construction of
Army Street Sewer, which I hope soon to see commenced, and
which will afford drainage to so large a portion of the city, will
complete this good work and render what is known as the
Mission as-healthy as any portion of this much favored metrop-
olis. Tjae..cliief causes of preventable disease existing here to-
day arise, in my opinion, from the disgraceful condition of .our
sewers and. the unsanitary construction of the house-drainage
connected therewith. As I have elsewhere said (and I desire to
emphasize the same opinion here), the remedy, and the only one,
for this condition of things, is the appointment of an able and
experienced Sanitary Engineer, whose duty it shall be to super-
vise and direct the reconstruction of all old sewers and the con-
struction of all new ones. The house drainage should also be
under his supervision and direction.
San Francisco contains a very large number of tenement and
boarding houses. These are too frequently connected with pub-
lic sewers by means of drains constructed of improper material,
without ventilation or efficient traps. Whether this work is thus
performed through the ignorance or criminal neglect of plumb-
ers, or because of the avarice of landlords, the consequences are
the same the admission into our dwellings of noxious and pois-
onous gases. Until such an appointment is made, we may expect
the ranio ignorance of sanitary laws and engineering skill which
has heretofore characterized the construction of our sewers to
continue to prevail. Had such an appointment been made 12 or 15
years ago, a vast amount of sickness and distress might have
HEALTH OFFICER. 179
prevented, many valuable lives spared and hundreds of
thousands of dollars saved to the city.
I respectfully urge upon your Hon. Body the necessity of keep-
ing the sewers as clean as possible and not longer to delay their
proper ventilation. I have more than once recommended the
only practical, and economical mode of ventilation. It is that
practiced in London and other well governed cities in Europe and
America with an incalculable amount of benefit. It is sanctioned
by the experience of these cities, and insisted upon by distin-
guished sanitarians of learning and ability in this and other
countries. It has been tested to some extent here in Montgom-
ery and Market streets, much to the relief of most of our large
hotels. I only allude to this subject again because of its great
importance and respectfully refer you to my former reports for my
views in detail. A few thousand dollars expended for this pur-
pose will do more towards preventing disease and reducing our
death-rate than many thousands expended in any other direction.
I desire, through you, to call the attention of the proper au-
thorities to the necessity of the daily enforcement of our much
abused " cubic-air ordinance." The spasmodic execution of this
law against the Chinese is of no avail. Its daily enforcement
would compel many of these people to leave the city, or to dis-
continue living in these overcrowded quarters. The sanitary
condition of Chinatown is better than it has been for years, yet
so long as twenty-five or thirty thousand people are permitted to
occupy houses that are not sufficient to furnish good air to one
fourth of that number, this portion of the city will continue to
be a moral and social plague spot, productive of continual an-
noyance and much disease.
Only one case of smallpox was reported during the year, which
was immediately removed to the Twenty-sixth Street Hospital.
The introduction of animal vaccine virus, and its almost universal
adoption, having removed all prejudice against vaccination here,
nothing but gross carelessness upon the part of parents can ever
again afflict this community with a serious epidemic smallpox.
The Board of Health has wisely kept the Smallpox Hospital
properly organized so that cases of this dreaded disease may with-
out delay be removed thereto. Under the admirable supervision
180 REPORT OF THE
of Dr. Foye, so many improvements have been made in and
around this Hospital that no citizen who is at all familiar with its
management and surroundings should hesitate, in case of neces-
sity, to be removed thereto.
There are 10 cases of leprosy in the Twenty-sixth Street Hos-
pital. I hope the policy heretofore pursued of returning these
hideous and disgusting creatures to China will be continued.
Whenever a case of leprosy is discovered, our policy is to remove
it to Twenty-sixth Street Hospital,, where they receive kind treat-
ment until returned to Hongkong. I find that some of these
cases are developed after a residence of several years in San
Francisco, showing the constitutional character of the disease
and its probable inheritance.
Under the intelligent and energetic management of Dr. McAl-
lister our Quarantine is as efficient as possible under existing
laws. Yet it is not, as it ought to be, an impassable barrier to
the introduction of contagious diseases. It is a well understood
fact that communities are in more danger from infected cargoes
and baggage than from the passengers themselves. It must be
evident to any one familiar with such matters, that a ship, with
hundreds of passengers, cannot be properly disinfected without
first removing the passengers and discharging the cargo. Hence
the necessity for a Quarantine Station. It is believed that, upon
proper application by our State and Municipal Governments, a
few acres of land on Angel Island would be ceded to the State
for this purpose by the General Government. Warehouses and
other necessary buildings could be constructed so that ships ar-
riving with infected cargoes could be discharged, properly disin-
fected and released.
Under existing Quarantine regulations our commercial and
postal interests may at any time be seriously interfered with, at
much cost to owners of ships ad great inconvenience to the
public.
The impassable barrier presented by the Quarantine of the city
of New York has over and over again prevented the introduction
of yellow fever into that and other cities.
The actual cost of the epidemic of last year to the city of New
Orleans by careful investigation is estimated at $10,572,500.
HEALTH OFFICER. 181
The total loss to the whole country is estimated at $175,000,000.
This is looking at the question from the lowest standpoint, one
of money and trade. It takes no account of the desolation of
homes, of the valuable lives lost, and the general depression and
distress produced by this terrible scourge in the great Mississippi
Valley. True, for climatic reasons, we are not likely to suffer
from the introduction of this dreaded disease. Yet from our
own constant intercourse with China and Japan other epidemics
may be imported no less to be feared and avoided. To-day a
most alarming and fatal epidemic of Asiatic cholera is prevailing
in the interior of Japan. We may at any moment hear of its
introduction and prevalence in Yokohama. It is not improba-
ble that our steamers arriving from Asiatic ports with hundreds
of passengers may introduce this fearful disease into this city.
An epidemic of cholera would cost this city and State thousands
of lives, an amount of sickness and distress hardly to be estima-
ted, and in money, millions of dollars. The cost of one such
epidemic would support an efficient Quarantine for a half century.
Had the Quarantine at New Orleans been as efficient as that of
New York, the desolation of thousands of homes, the loss of
thousands of lives and of many millions of dollars would have
been saved to the country. The people of the entire State are
almost equally interested in the efficiency of our Quarantine.
Sooner or later the epidemics of San Francisco reach the interior
towns. It is hardly just therefore that this city should bear the
entire expense of protecting the people of the whole State.
I refer with pleasure and pride to the number of inmates cared
for and the number of patients treated in our Public Hospitals
and benevolent Institutions. These charities are living monu-
ments of the generosity, benevolence, energy and high civiliza-
tion of our much abused people. Our City and County Hospi-
tal and our Alms House are not surpassed by any and equalled by
few in the United States. These Institutions are models of
cleanliness and good management, and are supervised by men
eminent in the Profession as Physicians and Surgeons. The
same may be said of our other Hospitals. St. Mary's, St. Luke's,
French and German Hospitals, receive, besides the members of
their respective societies, other applicants who may desire com-
182 REPORT OF THE
fortable rooms, good nursing and efficient medical and surgical
attendance, at a mere nominal cost. In a young and cosmopoli-
tan city like San Francisco, where thousands of men and women
are far removed from friends and relatives, the great good
accomplished by these benevolent Institutions can be easily un-
derstood and appreciated.
It can be truly said that no inhabitant of San Francisco need
suffer for the want of careful nursing and good medical attend-
ance, as our Hospitals are open to the admission of all laboring
under disease.
I have before me the able report of the President of the Board
of Health of the District of Columbia for the year 1877. In it
he sa}^s: "That within the last year six hundred and eighty-
nine persons had died in the District of Columbia without medi-
cal attendance." He says also, that the city of Washington has.
no General Hospital.
It is certainly humiliating and disgraceful that such a condi-
tion of things should exist in the enlightened and cultivated
capital of this great nation. I am happy to express the belief
that in this far off and "half civilized city" as some of our
Eastern friends have seen fit to designate it, a single death
from such a cause would demand an immediate and thorough in-
vestigation that so disgraceful a circumstance might not again
occur.
The carefully prepared tables given below (mortuary and oth-
erwise) w T ill give much valuable information to those interested
in vital statistics.
The number of deaths from unascertained causes needs expla-
nation. Of the total number (385) 346 were Mongolians. The
Chinese having no Physicians recognized by our laws, the City
Physician is required to examine the dead bodies, and as he
knows nothing of the history of the cases, generally signs the
certificates, "cause of death unknown."
There were 1,504 births reported during the year, an increase
of 536 over the number reported the preceding year. This rec-
ord is, I regret to say, very imperfect, many of our Physicians
and Midwives through carelessness or ignorance of the import-
ance of this record failing to report their cases.
HEALTH OFFICER. 183
The record of marriages has been kindly furnished by our
County Clerk who issues the licenses. This record, as well as
our own mortuary record, is believed to be absolutely correct.
The statistical tables herewith enclosed bear ample testimony
to the industry and intelligence of our Secretaries. The reports of
our Market and Sanitary Inspectors I refer you to with pleasure,
as evidence of how much good can be done in this direction by
a faithful discharge of duty.
The expenses of the office are but slightly increased, notwith-
standing the increase of our clerical and sanitary force. The
receipts from disinterments I believe will largeh r increase during
the next year, which will further reduce our expenses. The cost
of maintaining this Department is truly a very small portion of
the amount- expended by our Municipal Government, especially
when it is considered that the sanitary welfare of our people de-
pends in so great a measure upon the efficient and intelligent
administration of the affairs of this office.
The subject of Hygiene or, how to pre&'i'n.' JieaWt, should be
carefully taught in our schools.
It is a subject, fortunately, that can be easily comprehended
by the intelligent masses, and is attracting an amount of attention
through our secular press and sanitary journals that will result
in much benefit to the whole country.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. L. MEAEES, M. D.,
Health Officer City and County of San Francisco.

236 HFJALTH OFFICER'S REPORT.
REPORT OF 'QUARANTINE OFFICER.
SAN FBANCISCO, June 30, 1879.
J. L. Meares, M. D.,
Health Officer City and County of San Francisco:
SIR I have the honor to submit my annual report for the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, 1879:
The total number of vessels entering this port for the past year subject to
Quarantine fees is 616 of all classes.
The total amount of fees due from the same amounted to $4,317 50.
Total amount collected and deposited in the City Treasury as per Treasur-
er's receipts held by me, 4,286. Balance remaining outstanding, $3150.
The total arrivals and departures of passengers have been as per tabulated
statements herewith.
The total expenses of the Quarantine Office for the fiscal year have been
as follows:
Salaries $5,400 00
Rent, etc 360 00
Repairs to boat and ship chandlery 54 20
Merchants' Exchange, for reporting vessels and subscription dues. 84 00
Subscription for Guide 3 00
Total $5,901 20
No contagious disease of any nature has occurred in the department for
the year, and all vessels entering the port have done so in a thoroughly
healthy condition as regards officers, crew and passengers, with the single
exception of one case of smallpox, which occurred on board a British ship.
The vessel was quarantined and fumigated, atfd the patient sent to the
Twenty-sixth Street Hospital. This case generated and developed while the
vessel was in port, several weeks after her arrival, and was contracted at
this port.
Under the working of the new Quarantine regulations the fees of the de-
partment have greatly increased, being $1,505 50 over the receipts of last
year, and this in the face of the fact of a decrease in the number of vessels
arriving by 288. Very respectfully submitted,
w. F. MCALLISTER, M. D.,
Quarantine Officer.

REMARKS.
In connection with my report, I desire to direct the attention of your
Honorable Board to the situation of the House of Correction, as to the Med-
ical and Surgical attendance given thereto.
The Grand Jury has recommended the propriety and necessity of a Resi-
dent Physician to said Institution; and I would recommend your Honorable
Body to have the laws so modified at the ensuing session of the Legislature,
as to enable you to make such an appointment, believing from my experi-
ence such a course to be demanded in the interests of humanity and direct
economy.

REMARKS AND SUGGESTIONS. 257
REMAKES.
In concluding this report, I think it is not improper for me to recall your
attention to the location and condition of the City Receiving Hospital. It
has served a good purpose so far, but on account of the increased work, is
now inadequate for the wants of this city. It is as you know, located in the
basement of the old "City Hall," and might be said to be a part of the
Prison, as its only entrance is through the Prison door. This fact of itself
is of considerable annoyance, both to the Prison authorities and the Surgeons
in charge. All operations, etc., have to be performed by gas-light, either by
day or night. Its ventilation is very imperfect, and its capacity limited to
seven patients at one time. In no sense can it be considered as a Prison
Hospital, as only a small portion of the patients received are prisoners.
The larger share are persons meeting with accidents in our streets, or those
taken suddenly ill while passing from one part of the city to another. The
most prolific source, is injuries received from the street cars; the next, from
grading, building, etc.
The necessity is here shown for the establishment of a Receiving or Acci-
dent Hospital in some central part of the city, for such cases. I would sug-
gest that some effort should be made during the session of the next Legisla-
ture to accomplish such an object.
The cost of such an Institution would be but slight in comparison to the
great benefits conferred. A two story building, having a capacity of twenty-
five beds would be ample.

REPORT
KEEPER OF -THE CITY CEMETEfjY,
To the Honorable the Board of .Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco :
GENTLEMEN I have the honor to herewith submit to your
Honorable Body a report of the affairs of the City Cemetery for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879.
The lots donated by your Honorable Body, during the past
twelve months, to the following benevolent societies: Ohabai
Shalome. Master Mariners', Italian Benevolent, Netherland and
Congregation Sherith Israel, have been improved and inclosed,
with picket fences, as ordered b} r resolution of your Board.
I would respectfully call the attention of your Honorable
Body to the following much needed improvements:
The main avenue of the Cemetery is greatly in need of macad-
amizing; its present sandy condition rendering it difficult of pas-
sage, both to pedestrians and carriages. This much-needed im-
provement could be made at a merely nominal expense, as there
is a fine quarry of red stone at one side of the entrance, from
which the macadam can be obtained. Several of the societies
have signified a desire to improve the avenues surrounding their
lots; and are but awaiting the improvement of the main avenue.
The rail fence surrounding the Cemetery should be rebuilt, as
many of the posts have decayed at their base. I would suggest
CITY CEMETERY. 289
that a picket fence be built on the front or southerly side,
which, if whitewashed, would add greatly to the improvement
and appearance of the Cemetery the present fence could be
utilized in the repairing of that at the rear and sides of the
grounds.
The house of the Keeper should be repaired and renovated, as
it is in a very dilapidated condition; and without a much needed
office for the transaction of the business of the Cemetery.
As a matter of economy the above improvements should be
made without a protracted delay.
During the year the expenses of the Cemetery have been as
follows :
Cost of head and foot boards ... $534 50

ALMS HOUSE REPORT.
CITY AND COUNTY ALMS HOUSE, ]
San Francisco, June 30, 1879. j
To the Honorable the Board of Health
of the City and County of San Francisco:
GENTLEMEN This being the time for presenting an Annual Keport, I beg
leave to submit to your Honorable Board a statement of the affairs and busi-
ness of the City and County Alms House, with a report as Superintendent
thereof for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879.
I do not deem it necessary to embody a detailed description of the Alms
House and the property belonging to it, but will give the following items re-
garding it that may prove of interest:
The Alms House is situated on the San Miguel Kancho, about six miles dis-
tant from Portsmouth Square; and was opened on the 12th of September,
1867. The structure has a frontage of 187 feet and is four stories high. It has
capacity for the comfortable lodging of 500 inmates. The sleeping rooms
are well lighted and well ventilated, and each floor has bath rooms, water
closets, etc. Its construction was well planned and every attention was given
to the requirements of such an Institution. The principal building and
stables, with out-houses, etc., have been painted during the year, without
any expense to the City, excepting the cost of the paint, as the work was
done by the inmates. The buildings and premises are now in excellent con-
dition and the comfort and well-being of the inmates provided for. It has
been apparent for some time, that an addition, or new wing, should be put to
the main building, as the increase in the number of inmates will make the
same necessary in the near future. I would therefore respectfully beg leave
to call the attention of your Honorable Board, as also of the Board of Super-
visors, to this matter, as a pressing need that will have to be provided for. In
relation to the affairs of this Institution during the past year, I desire to call
your attention to the following recitals in reference to the workings of the
per capita plan and that of segregated schedule, wherein comparisons have
REMARKS. 291
been made to show the economy and benefits secured under the segregated
schedule. The segregated schedule has saved to the City in five years the
large sum of $68,993 60, besides furnishing the best quality of all articles of
food.
For the fiscal year 1871-72, upon the recommendation of your Honorable
Board, the Board of Supervisors adopted a segregated schedule, which was
awarded to the lowest bidder, in detail, for each subdivision. This proved
to be the most economical measure that could be found. The cost of food
under this plan for an average of 314 inmates per day amounted, for the year,
to $27,650 69, from which sum, deducting $1,677 92, the amount obtained
from sales of hogs and potatoes raised on the farm during the year, left the
sum of $25,972 77 as the actual amount of the disbursement.
The cost per diem for each inmate that year was 22% cents. Though there
was an excess of eighty-five (85) inmates per day to feed, over that of the
year prior to the administration of your Honorable Board, the actual dis-
bursement therefore was $3,748 92 less than for said year preceding your
direction being at the rate of 13 cents less per day per inmate.
Without regard to the great economy and advantage of the system, the
Board of Supervisors set aside the segregated schedule and let the contract
for food at the rate of 24% cents per capita per day for the inmates, and paid
the same sum for the employees; the latter under the segregated schedule
plan were not charged.
This per capita plan opened the door wide for swindling, and the contractor
was not slow in taking advantage of its looseness.
Under the segregated plan the contractor would bring the full amount
ordered as it was to his interest to do so, he being paid so much per pound
for such articles as he delivered; and if the quality of the articles furnished
was not good and acceptable, the same were at once condemned and other sup-
plies were purchased instead, and neither the City nor the inmates of the
place could suffer by reason of bad practice. Under the per capita plan,
however, the contractor attempted to furnish bad food and short weight.
When the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors made up his account for four
(4) months of 1872-73, he found the contractor was short in the weight of
beef furnished about (6,000) six thousand pounds, and short proportionately
in other articles, for which deficiencies and short weight the contractor did
not wish to allow one cent to the City. In this manner attempts were made
to cheat the poor inmates out of half of their rations. It became so bad in-
deed that I was compelled to purchase other food at times or half starve the
poor beings under my charge, or require them to eat unwholesome food. The
per capita plan was continued for 1873-74, with the same results and objec-
tions obtained the previous year at 22% cents per inmate.
For 1874-75, the Board of Supervisors set aside the objectionable per
capita plan, and adopted the segregated schedule, which resulted in much
saving to the City. For this year (1874-75) the cost was $21,837 12, with a
292 ALMS HOUSE REPORT.
daily average of 381 inmates and employees. The daily cost for these in-
mates and employees was 16% cents, being 5|-|- cents less than for the pre-
vious year. The saving to the City on the number of inmates and employ-
ees on food was 7,761 14. . In 1875-76, the cost for food was $21,002 90
for a daily average of 410 inmates and employees. The daily cost for food
for these was 14 cents, or 8% cents less than in 1873-74. The saving to the
City and County for the year on food was $13,993 37 cents. For 1876-77,
the cost for food was $22,725 61. The daily average of inmates and em-
ployees was 446, and the daily cost for these was 13% cents, or 9 cents less
than for 1873-74, a clear saving to the City and County of $14,651 10 for
food. For 1877-78, the cost for fojd was $25,726 84. The daily average of
inmates and employees being 499, the daily cost for food for these was
14 X cents or 8% cents less than for 1873-74, thereby making a saving of
$16,164 48 to the City and County.
For the present year (1878-79) the cost for food was $24,668 27. The
daily average of inmates and employees being 504, the daily cost for
these was 13' < cents or 9^ cents less per head than in 1873-74, saving to
the City and County for the year the sum of $17,322 90.
Upon reference to the City and County Auditor's Report for the fiscal year
1869-70, it will be seen that the total expenses for the Alms House, with an
average of 229 inmates per day, was $61,023 19. This was the year prior to
that in which jour Honorable Board took charge of the Institution. For
this past year (1878-79) the total expenditure amounted to $59,237 07, with
a daily average of 504 inmates. Thus you will observe that $1,786 12 less
than the same expended in 1869-70, has been disbursed during the past year,
with more than double the number of inmates to feed and take care of. This
is the only department of the City or State Government, wherein the busi-
ness has more than doubled and the expenditures have been lessened during
the past nine years. During the year all the gates have been removed from
the road through the Alms House ground, leading from Golden Gate Park to
the Ocean House road. This road has been widened and regraded and
neatly fenced along the line, and is now one of the finest and pleasantest
drives in the county. All of fhis good work has been done by the inmates of the
Alms House. Two hundred trees, the gift of the Park Commissioners, to
whom I feel greatly indebted for their thoughtful and generous donation,
have been planted and set out during the past year, adding materially to
the beauty of the place and grounds.
Sufficient hay and vegetables have been raised upon the farm during the
year to supply the wants of the place. The potato crop, however, was en-
tirely destroyed by the blight, causing a loss of at least $3,000 to the City
and County, as we have been very successful in former years in obtaining
good returns therefrom, and had expected a much larger yield this season.
This loss was a great disappointment to us.
I would respectfully recommend to your Honorable Board and Board of
STATISTICS. 293
Supervisors, the propriety of applying to the next Legislature for a State ap-
propriation towards defraying the expenses of this Institution. About one-
half of those who have become inmates within the past nine years have come
from the State at large, and were not at the time of their admission residents
of this City and County for thirty days. Some of these in fact had not
been in the city longer than a few days before they became inmates of the
place, and pensioners on our citizens. This is a palpable injustice to the
taxpayers of the City, and the proper relief should be had. The State at
large therefore should make provision for all such as have received and may
receive the benefits of the establishment, who are not bona fide residents of
the City and County of San Francisco.
I would further respectfully recommend to your Honorable Board and to
the Board of Supervisors, that power be obtained to purchase, say 500 acres
of land adjacent to, and to be added to the farm already occupied. With such
increase of acreage, under proper culture and good management, this Institu-
tion could be made almost self-sustaining and much expense be saved to the
taxpayers, and the usefulness of the place be widely augmented.
From the opening of the Alms House to the present date, 5,654 persons
have been admitted, and have received the benefits of a place well provided
for, through the generosity of our City and County.
Accompanying this I present a statement of the affairs of the Alms House
with some detail of the operations carried on by the inmates, and showing
products of their labor.
I am, respectfully yours,
M. J. KEATING,
Superintendent of Alms House.
